This isn't your over-ripe, over-jammy Barossa bruiser. This fabulous winemaker deliberately sources fruit from granite-based vineyards, right on the border of Eden and Barossa, that ripen at lower alcohols, then adds serious whole-bunch fermentation for a spicier, more dialled-in shiraz. 95 points from Halliday and a raft of shout-outs from the big reviewers prove that sometimes being contrary pays off spectacularly.

Why do we love this wine?
Whole-bunch ferment plays a big role here, giving structure, lift, and that savoury crunch that’s become a hallmark of this cult-followed wine. You’ll find spice, red and black fruit, supple tannins, and a line of energy that sets it apart from the crowd. Awarded 95pts by Halliday Wine Companion, this is top buying for anyone who loves shiraz with a bit of edge. Drink it now for its vibrancy, or cellar it for a decade-plus to watch it evolve. Either way, it’s Alex at his most creative - and it’s bloody delicious. This wine works beautifully now but has the structure and complexity to reward patient cellaring for a decade or more. Whether you're an intermediate wine lover looking for something different or a serious collector seeking exceptional value, The Contrarian delivers on every level.
